A typist is a person who specializes in typing text, often using a keyboard or typewriter. They are skilled in producing written documents quickly and accurately. Typists may work in various settings, including offices, schools, and publishing companies, where they create reports, letters, and other written materials. In addition to speed and accuracy, typists often have a good understanding of grammar and punctuation. Many typists use software programs like Microsoft Word or Google Docs to format their work. Some typists may also transcribe audio recordings, converting spoken words into written text for documentation or record-keeping purposes.
